Orientierungssysteme und Signaletik

Signage systems are [vitally] important. However, they often go missing in the Bermuda Triangle of architect, contractor and client, resulting in a jungle of signs which at best gives a direction but doesn't actually tell you which way to go.
To help lead designers, architects and construction companies safely out of the forest Andreas Uebele has compiled a compendium of ideas and best-ofpractice examples spiced with plenty of experience on the ethics of signals.
In it he explains the technical terms, outlines the basics of signage design and provides tips on how to deal with matters of safety, rules and regulations and the necessary...

authorities. Most importantly he gives outstanding examples of signage systems from all over the world: from airports, museums and exhibitions to schools and libraries, from industrial concerns to urban contexts to arts buildings and events. Uebele's missive contains background information on concepts, materials,
constructive details, planning schedules, cost, typefaces and much more. This is a book which has been worth waiting for!
